SK Goes To The Movies

[scarywriter]

I am hugely disappointed with the latest release from SK. I have been a fan for 35 years and enjoy nearly everything he puts out. This book, however, was falsely marketed as new material. It is simply old comments on a few of his movies. I was hoping for something akin to John Irving's "My Movie Business," but got rehash from past interviews. Short pieces at that, one page comments and nothing new. Booooo!

Howdy and welcome to the board. I have not had a chance to review or purchase this book yet so I have no input at this time.

I picked it up the other day. Its only paperback so it doesnt cost much so Ill still give it a read.

I really wasnt sure what to expect to begin with though.

I had a hard time finding it in the store and then found it on the back and at the bottom of a rack, not appropriate placement for a Stephen King new release. I was disapointed in the book's size, I was picturing something the size of the Gunslinger paperback. I haven't started reading it yet, but I'm not hearing a lot of positive feed back.

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

I haven't read it yet either (though I've read all the stories therein multiple times), but your's is not the first disappointment I've encountered.

Long days and pleasant nights

I think I am awaiting for under the dome... --i have these stories

I already have all the stories in the book; the only thing new is the commentary provided on the movies made from these stories.

Dear Friend,

I too was pretty ticked. It was cheap- sure but so was the book if you get my double meaning. I expected more than one page about the short story movie adaptations. I expected some insight on SK's feelings about the movie- not just, "people liked these one's and hey, by the way, here is the short story that you undoubtedly already have read and own in my other books!"
Not what I expected
